Not all truckers come
into the business because it was their dream job, but for the few who
do, one reason stands out as the primary motivation they got into
trucking: the freedom of the open road.
A truck driver’s job
isn’t easy. Paid by the mile, these haulers of cargo have to work
hard to make a living. Sometimes pushing 11- to 14- hour days in
order to get the most number of miles in the least amount of time,
you’ve got to have a real passion for the job if you really want to
make it in this business.
The freedom of the open
road is one of the things that drives that passion. Free to wander to
and fro about the countryside—albeit along the shortest path
between their origin and their destination—truckers get to
experience being in a different place every day; they regularly see
new places and meet new faces.
There are those who
enjoy the less extroverted side of being out on the road, of course.
Some find the solitude comforting and others just love how they can
let their thoughts run wild while driving a truck to their
destination.
Of course, choosing the
right jobs is key to getting the most out of the experience. With
some websites now helping truck drivers find the jobs that suit their
preferences, getting those jobs isn’t as hard to do now as it was
in the past.
